people are demanding an explanation for cancelling NIOSA Wednesday at the Conservation Society general membership meeting.<\/p>\n
What is Fiesta without Night of Old San Antonio? San Antonio is going to find out what that looks like since the party is cancelled next year.<\/p>\n
Betty Bueche, San Antonio\u2019s Conservation Society president, breaks down what it costs to put on the four-day Fiesta party that has put them $1.4 million in the hole over the past four years.<\/p>\n
For starters, they\u2019d need $200,000 to reserve La Villita. That cost is up $5,000 from last year. They\u2019d also have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for security.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year the cost of security was in the range of $380,000,\u201d Bueche said. \u201cThere has been several years in the past where it has reached $400,000.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bueche says in order to host NIOSA next year they will need at least $600,000. Factoring in the cost of food, drinks and electricity she says the costs add up fast.<\/p>\n
Jim Mery, the president of Fiesta San Antonio says they had no idea NIOSA wouldn\u2019t be happening next year.<\/p>\n
There was no warning.\u201d Mery said. \u201cWe were told the day of. The cost of goods. The cost of security. The decrease in attendance. When you look at all of that they as an organization made the right approach and they have to figure out how to be successful. We will help them if they need our help.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"people are demanding an explanation for cancelling NIOSA Wednesday at the Conservation Society general membership meeting.
